Loss Posted August 31, 2011 Author Report Posted August 31, 2011 Lawler does all the talking while Todd Champion stands nearby. He recaps Doug Gilbert teaming with him and Jarrett when JYD no-showed the night before in Kennett, MO, and we get a few clips. They did a big injury angle with Gilbert. Quote
PeteF3 Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 Doug Gilbert is put out of action courtesy of the Moondogs in Kennett, Mo. Looks like the JYD is gone as well. Todd Champion has undergone quite the transformation. Quote
WingedEagle Posted September 19, 2013 Report Posted September 19, 2013 Todd Champion is there with some title belt, which isn't a good look for Lawler & Jarrett. Clips of Moondogs & Lee vs. Lawler/Jarrett where JYD apparently no showed so Doug Gilbert stepped in and was injured with a bone shot. Quote
garretta Posted April 12, 2016 Report Posted April 12, 2016 Doug looks like he took quite a beating, but still managed to get the winning fall. With him out of action and the sides still uneven, Lawler and Jeff need someone else on their side. Gee, I wonder who'll step up. I heard somewhere that Doug has a brother who wrestles on occasion.......... JYD must have left the territory by now. When did he show up next and where? What belt was Champion carrying? I know they were trying to get him over as the next great heel, but an interview like this wasn't the time for him to do his schtick. Unless they were planning on him attacking Lawler or Jeff (which they clearly weren't), he should have stayed behind the desk with the camera completely ignoring him and focusing on Lawler. His bored mannerisms were needlessly distracting. Quote
ajtroma Posted April 13, 2016 Report Posted April 13, 2016 Todd Champion became Unified Champion in a phantom title chage "in Cleveland" over Butch Reed. Reed had just won the belt from Dog and split over money. This part of the year was always known for droughts in the Memphis territory due to school, holidays, other sports, etc. So, the dwindling houses didnt pay well enough for Butch to stick around.

garretta Posted April 13, 2016 Report Posted April 13, 2016 Reed was another one that I didn't know worked Memphis, Thanks for the info. But if Reed was a heel when he beat JYD (as I assume he was), then Todd was a face when he beat Reed. So how did Todd end up a heel on TV? Quote
ajtroma Posted April 14, 2016 Report Posted April 14, 2016 He kinda just did. It wasnt explained. He just showed up with the belt and managed by Bert Prentice. Quote
